Capt Harry Horne Says That Not single

Capt. Harry Horne Says That Not Single
Man Came Out of That Fight Alive.
Boston Transcript.
At Solomon's Wild West show tent on Rug
giles street fremont, Capt Harry Horne,
who has passed many years among the Indians,
gave interesting talk last night on the traits
of the Indians. Captain Horne was with Custer
three hours before the battle in which be met
his fate. The speaker strongly lntimated tnat
others besides Indians were concerned In the
affair. After the battle, while examining the
trail to discover the number of Indians In the
fight, a network of wire was found stretched In
the grass in the valley near the plateau where
the battle occurred. the purpose of which was to
throw the horses of the soldiers should they
attempt to escape, making it an easy matter Tor
the Indians to shoot them down. Not q single
man who went into the battle with Custer came
out alive, Notwithstanding the fact that 1t has
been asserted that man known as Curley,
he half breed" escaped.
THAT individual" said Captain Horne, WAS
with Reno, and rode at his side onto the battle
field after the massacre. 1t has been asserted,
also, that Clusters body was found neatly rolled
up in a blanket On the contrary, he was found
lying upon the ground with his men. Custer was
led into one of the greatest traps ever set. Reno
heard the firing, and, while knowing it was Gus
ter giving battle, waited for twenty-five minutes
before going TO his relief, and then by trail
which ne knew was roundabout. Reno said.
when it was suggested that he go to assist Gus
ter. that Custer knew how to get in. and he
could get out. All of the bodies were found side
by side as they fell, and the Indians had plenty
of time to escape About ten days after the
fight accompanied by certain government Off
Gals, visited the scene of the battle. and found
that the wire had been removed-the field had
been fixed. General Reno was ordered to Wash
ington and court-martialed, but allowed to re-
turn to his command. One OF his hrst acts upon
returning was to assault a woman. The wife of
officer said to him, General, you ought never
to hold up your head again after what has hap
pened. In reply he struck her square in the
face with his hand, knocking her down. for
which he was again called TO account

THE ALIEN LAND ACT.

The London ''Times' Admits It's Justice, but
Questions the Policy of the Measure.
Cable special to New York World
The Times has an editorial column long
Attorney general Garlands opinion on the act
forbidding aliens to acquire real estate in the
Territories. The article says: THE act is not
likely to operate injuriously upon any important
present British interests in America. In the
future it can hardly be equally neutral. The
Territories, though at present not to be com
pared in population or realized resources with the
States, cover an enormous area, hiding incalcu-
liable riches. Unless this act had been passed
the enterprise which has already exhibited itself
to the great benefit both of America and of
British subjects in Texas and other States
might naturally have produced like results in
more than one promising Territory. The lmta-
tion OF alien shareholding is certain to have the
material effect, almost Immediately, in curtail
inc mining undertakings"
1t predicts similar action upon the part of the
6tnte Legislatures and from this assumption
proceeds TO say: 'If the representative bodies
in America should SO decide with the full
garo for vested rights they cannot be upbraided
as being Inspired by the temper of Cinnamon.
The uncontrolled liberty of acquiring land which
aliens commonly have enjoyed in the United
States is not European custom in an unquali-
fed state. II is not bestowed by British law,
and on the continent in general alien finds 1t
difficult even TO own the house he inhabits If

ship il will discoy or plenty OF precedents in Eu-
Popean Jurisprudence.
The policy OF such retrogression towards ex-
clusiveness is another matter However guarded
restrictions may be, they cannot but cause dis
couragIng impression that foreign energy and
money are beginning to be regarded sus piciously.
In itself the jealousy of alien ownership, though
natural, is not a sentiment upon which it is safe
TO rest system of legislation. In fact. there
sar be not question that the majority of own
Irs who entered aliens will remain, if at all,

recent la W is the mstrust it evinces not much
